8. Legion: XX (2018)

“Some really cool versions of songs that I dig the original and a couple I hadn’t heard before that made me check out a new/old band. In the 90’s I was a metal snob and didn’t listen to punk for all the wrong reasons and missed out. It’s great to see the band who I’d say is currently putting out the best new metal originals take a chance on something completely different, and kill it. This isn’t an album you compare to Sacrament, their studio originals are masterpieces of metal pushed to a new limit whereas this is just a Friday night party. It’s just fun. I’ll listen to their original albums much more often than this one, but every time I call up this one it’ll be fun to listen to. And if nothing else, when you listen to this you realize how much better punk sounds with a drummer that is fast AND stays on time.”

7. VII: Sturm Und Drang (2015)

“Lamb of God always impresses with there releases and have never really released a weak album. They have been very consistent with their sound for most of their career (groove metal/melodic death metal). However with this release they add some changes to their sound. Clean vocals are actually incorporated at times and they even get Chino of Deftones fame to guest on a track!!! Does it work? Yes it does and it really makes this album stand out from previous releases in a good way. There are still plenty of brutal tracks on this one, but it is refreshing to see Lamb of God experimenting. I can’t wait for the next release!!!”

6. New American Gospel (2000)

“What a cool release. But nothing beats: “Wrath” by LOG. This one is recommended. I will be using it for personal consumption. This release has extra tracks on the disc too. Good deal. Music always sounds better after the second listening session.”

5. Resolution (2012)

“Seriously, if you like true American metal, you need to have this album. Brutal riffs, killer harmonies, sick vocals, and Chris Adler’s drums are unmatched in music… PERIOD. Lamb is by far my favorite metal band, and this album is no slacker. They’ve moved into a bit more of a groove metal type of sound, with a lot more riff-heavy songs, and Randy’s vocals are a bit more understandable (haha), but this is no soft album, oh no. Wrath was great, and this album is just as intense. Go ahead, add it to your cart, you know you want to…”

4. Wrath (2009)

“I’ve been a Lamb fan since Burn the Priest. I really don’t understand what people mean when they say this album has a “radio” sound. I haven’t listened to the radio in about 9 years, so maybe I’m just out of touch about what’s played on the radio now, but I’m pretty sure it isn’t this. I don’t know anyone who listens to the radio who would listen to Lamb of God, even this album. It’s way too heavy, there’s too much screaming, and too “complex” to keep average radio listener’s attention. This album is easily one of my favorites from them. LOG’s sound has evolved and they’ve gotten better at making music. Maybe the “radio” sound everyone is talking about is the clean production. I don’t understand why that would be a problem, though. When a band gets better, so does their production quality. As a whole cohesive work of art, this album is a blast to listen to from beginning to end. I don’t like to listen to just a few songs and then move on. When I listen to Wrath, I listen from track Passing, all the way to Reclamation.”

3. As the Palaces Burn (2003)

“There are very few albums on which every track is a good song. The songwriting for this album is so good that you can’t tell what “the good songs are supposed to be” other than if you look the singles that were released (Ruin, 11th Hour, Vigil). I can’t go 2 minutes of listening to any song on this album without feeling a rush of adrenaline and optimism. Lyrically, each song paints a picture of the harshest unfiltered reality faced by the artists at the time of they were written. The thoughts shared by vocalist Randy Blythe are effectively confrontational, destructive, and full of clear purpose for the listener. LoG provide zero shortage of offerings to their audience on this album from start to finish.”

2. Sacrament (2006)

“This is (arguably) LoG’s best album. Right from when you press play, there’s the live classics Walk With Me In Hell, Again We Rise, and Redneck and then there’s plenty more crushing metal tracks on the rest of the album. If you haven’t heard this album before, you’re seriously missing out.”

1. Ashes of the Wake (2003)

“This is, in my opinion the best metal album of the 00’s. I remember listening to it for the first time during the whole “war in the middle east” and thinking “this is the Paranoid by Black Sabbath of my generation” After listening to in with a 15 year retrospective and in my mid 30’s i still feel this to be true. I, myself, am more of an Indie/Alt rock fan but a good album is a good album.”
